In a population of flowers growing in a meadow, C1 and C2 are autosomal codominant alleles that control flower color. The alleles are polymorphic in the population, with f (C1) = 0.8 and f (C2) = 0.2. Flowers that are C1C1 are yellow, orange flowers are C1C2, and C2C2 flowers are red. A storm blows a new species of hungry insects into the meadow, and they begin to eat yellow and orange flowers but not red flowers. The predation exerts strong natural selection on the flower population, resulting in relative fitness values of C1C1 = 0.30, C1C2 = 0.60, and C2C2 = 1.0.
Required:
a. What is the C1C2 genotype frequency among the progeny of predation survivors?
b. What is the C2C2 genotype frequency among the progeny of predation survivors?
c. What is the C2C2 genotype frequency among the progeny of predation survivors?
d. What is the equilibrium C2 allele frequency in the predation environment?
The backbone vertebrae, skull, and rib cage make up the _______ skeleton. Among other types of cells, bone marrow produces _______ blood cells, which carry oxygen in the blood. _______ can eventually become osteocytes. If bones rapidly deconstruct faster than new bone tissue grows, this can lead to less dense and more fragile bones. When severe, this condition is called _______. _______ such as the MCL and ACL connect bone to other bone at joints.
ANSWERS :
1.axial
2. red
3. Osteoblasts
4. osteoporosis
5. Ligaments
6. Osteoblasts are cells that build bone tissue, and are called osteocytes when they become surrounded by the bone that they have built. Osteoclasts are cells that break down bone tissue. The building and breaking down of bone tissue continues throughout a person’s lifetime and makes bones strong. If osteoclasts break down more bone than osteoblasts build, this can lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis, causing bones to be fragile and break more easily.
Answer:
1. axial
2. red
3. Osteoblasts
4. osteoporosis
5. Ligaments
Explanation:
The axial skeleton consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate including skull, and rib cage.
Bone marrow produces red blood cells, which carry oxygen in the blood.
Osteoblasts can become osteocytes, which are the third type of bone cells.
Osteoporosis is a bone resorption disease in which bones rapidly deconstruct faster than new bone tissue grows, and decreases the mechanical strength of bones.
Ligaments connects one bone to other at joint such as medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that joins knee.
Hence, the correct answer for the question is as follows:
1.axial
2. red

Explain to your lab mate the health risk associated with consuming a diet low in vitamin K along with the ingestion of antibiotics over multiple days. How would the termination of antibiotic treatment help to remove this health risk?
Answer:
Vitamin K, a fat soluble vitamin is rich in green leafy vegetables,and also produced by bacterial in the intestine.
Its major function is blood clotting or arrest of bleeding to prevent blood loss.
Antibiotics especially with Cephalosporins,reduces Vit. K absorption in the intestine. Intake of these antibiotic kill the targeted bacterial together with the the bacteria which produces Vit. K in the intestine.
Hence when antibiotic is taken with low level of Vit, K the individual is prone to excessive bleeding or haemorrhage,because the concentration of the vitamins is further depleted.
If the medication is stopped,the condition will improve because the bacteria which produces Vt K can resumes the secretions,and its absorption will resume
Explanation:
Why it is important to emasculate and bag wheat, oats and groundnut flowers before a cross is made by using another desirable plant.
Answer:
There are no options in this question but it can be answered using general knowledge. The answer is:
In order to prevent self-pollination or natural cross-pollination of the wheat, oats or groundnut flowers.
Explanation:
The flowers of wheat, oat and groundnut plants have something in common, which is the fact that they are all bisexual flowers i.e. flowers that have both male and female reproductive parts. Hence, they tend to undergo self-pollination i.e. transfer of pollen to female reproductive part on the same flower.
To prevent this from occuring when a desirable trait is wanted during crop breeding procedures, a process called EMASCULATION is carried out. Emasculation is the process whereby the stamen (male flower) or pollen of a plant is removed without destroying the female part of the flower. This is done in order to discourage self-pollination in plants with a bisexual flower.
Also, after emasculation, the flowers are bagged in order to prevent natural cross-pollination i.e. to prevent pollens from other plant from being transferred to the stigma of the desired plants in random manner.
Hence, emasculation and bagging is important to make sure the desired plants are still viable for the crop breeding procedure.
____________ a regulatory protein that may bind DNA to inhibit transcription. ____________ a DNA sequence that binds a regulatory protein. ____________a DNA sequence that binds RNA polymerase and regulates transcription. ____________a compound that interacts with another protein or compound to form an active repressor ____________a compound that induces or activates transcription, such as lactose.a. Repressorb. Operator c. Promoterd. Corepressore. Inducer
Answer:
A repressor is a regulatory protein that may bind DNA to inhibit transcription. An operator is a DNA sequence that binds a regulatory protein. A promoter is a DNA sequence that binds RNA polymerase and regulates transcription. A corepressor is a compound that interacts with another protein or compound to form an active repressor. An inducer is a compound that induces or activates transcription, such as lactose.
Explanation:
Repressor proteins bind to DNA and RNA to suppress target gene expression. A DNA repressor blocks transcription by inhibiting the attachment of RNA polymerase to the promoter sequence, while an RNA repressor bind to the mRNA to block translation of the protein. An operator is a DNA sequence required for the attachment of transcription factors. The genes that are transcribed by the binding of a transcription factor to an operator sequence are collectively referred to as an operon. Operons are generally found in prokaryotes but they also can be found in some eukaryotes including Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. An inducer is a molecule that activates gene transcription either by binding to repressors/corepressors (thereby inactivating their functions) or by binding activators. For example, the allolactose act as an inducer of the lac operon.

n your lab you are studying the genome of venomous rattlesnakes to find the gene which codes for their venom glands. You have two rattlesnakes, one rattlesnake has a mutation but can still produce venom. You compare his DNA to a normal rattlesnake. What type of mutation has occurred? Normal: AATCGCTACGCACGTCAG Mutated: TATCGCTACGCACGTCAG
Answer:
There are no options but the kind of mutation that occurred by carefully observing both sequences is:
POINT SUBSTITUTION MUTATION
Explanation:
Mutation is any change, whether small or big, in the nucleotide sequence of a gene (DNA). Mutation occurs from time to time in an organism either by a mistake during DNA replication or induced by a mutagen (mutation-causing substance). Mutation can be of different types depending on the effect on the mutant.
In this case of comparing the DNA sequence two rattle snakes, the sequences of the two snakes are:
Normal: AATCGCTACGCACGTCAG
Mutated: TATCGCTACGCACGTCAG
By carefully observing the two DNA sequences, one would realize that the only difference in the two sequences is the first nucleotide base. That is, in the normal sequence, th first base is Adenine (A) while in the mutated sequence, the first base is Thymine (T).
This type of mutation that involves only one nucleotide base is called POINT MUTATION. It can also be noticed that base "A" was changed "T". Hence, this is a type of SUBSTITUTION MUTATION because a single base was replaced by another in the sequence.
Which is a function of the cell membrane? performs photosynthesis controls what enters and leaves the cell produces proteins provides energy to the cell

Transcriptional regulation of operon gene expression involves the interaction of molecules with one another and of regulatory molecules with segments of DNA. In this context, define and give an example of each of the following:
a. operator
b. repressor
c. inducer
d. corepressor
e. promoter
f. positive regulation
g. allostery
h. negative regulation
i. attenuation
Answer and explanation:
The operator is a DNA fragment localized between the promoter and structural gene sequences that are able to repress operon transcription. A repressor is a molecule that binds to the operator to inhibit transcription, while an inducer is a molecule that activates transcription by binding either to the repressors or to the activators. A corepressor is a molecule that binds to repressors in order to activate them. A promoter is a DNA sequence localized upstream structural genes which binds to a transcription factor in order to activate operon transcription. Positive regulation is the process by which operon transcription acts as a positive loop, thereby increasing its own transcription, while negative regulation is the process by which operon transcription inhibits its own expression. Allostery refers to the process by which a molecule regulates operon transcription by binding to distal (and therefore non-functional) sites of the operon. Attenuation is a process able to reduce operon transcription and also to block subsequent translation.
The main function of a cell membrane is to allow substances to enter and leave the cell. Which is a correct description of transport through a cell membrane
Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is the completed question:
The main function of a cell membrane is to allow substances to enter and leave the cell. Which is a correct description of transport through a cell membrane ?
a. Diffusion, or passive transport, occurs when molecules diffuse from a lower concentration to a higher concentration.
b. Facilitated transport occurs when proteins that extend through the cell membrane provide a channel through which certain substances can diffuse more rapidly than by passive diffusion.
c. The lipid bilayer opens up and allows the ions or molecules to enter the cell, then closes.
d. Active transport occurs when molecules diffuse from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
Answer:
b. Facilitated transport occurs when proteins that extend through the cell membrane provide a channel through which certain substances can diffuse more rapidly than by passive diffusion.
Explanation:
Transport through cell membranes can be broadly classified as active transport or passive transport.
Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP for the transportation of substances across the cell membrane.
Option b correctly describes facilitated diffusion, which is a passive-mediated diffusion process, where channels in the cell membrane mainly composed of proteins called transmembrane integral proteins, allow for the movement of certain molecules (mostly polar/hydrophilic) molecules that will not otherwise be transported through simple diffusion because of the hydrophobic nature of the cell membrane.
The other options are wrong because:
a. diffusion or simple transport involves the movement of substances from regions of higher to a lower concentration not lower to higher as suggested here.
c. The lipid bi-layer does not allow ions or hydrophilic molecules because it is hydrophobic in nature, and it is not a channel, so it does not open and closes
d. In active transport, transfer of molecules is from regions of lower to higher concentration and not higher to lower concentration as suggested here.

An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence complementary to that of a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence. An anticodon is found at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule.
QUICKLY! The chemical reaction equation of photosyntesis is shown here: What information is not given in this equation. It does not show if the reaction is reversible. It does not show the reactants needed for the reaction. It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps. It does not show the number of molecules required to produce glucose.
Answer:
C: It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a unique process carried out by the cells of autotrophic organisms. It is the process whereby they synthesize their own food in form of sugars (glucose) in the presence of sunlight. Ideally, the photosynthetic process makes use of carbon dioxide (C02) and water (H20) in the presence of light energy (from sun) to produce glucose sugar (C6H12O6) and oxygen (02). The general photosynthetic equation is as follows:
6CO2 + 6H20 + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2
However, the process is not as simple as portrayed as it involves many separate steps that collectively forms the photosynthetic product (glucose). Photosynthesis occurs in two major stages namely: light stage and light independent stage, which in turn consists of series of reactions that forms the products.
Therefore, the equation attached to this question describes photosynthesis but It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps.
Answer:
C: It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps.

Extinction of the Ordovician: This extinction was responsible for the disappearance of about 60-70% of the species of oceanic life, This is because in that period most of the life on Earth was in the ocean. This extinction is believed to have been caused by an intense glacial period, although short that froze most of the planet's water. It is believed that the species most affected were sponges, algae, jawless fish, molluscs and cephalopods.
Devonian Extinction: Responsible for the disappearance of about 75% of marine species. This extinction was caused by the depletion of oxygen in the ocean, making life impossible for all aerobic marine organisms. This depletion of oxygen was caused mainly by the variation in the level of the ocean and climatic changes that may have been caused by asteroids.
Permian Extinction: Responsible for the death of 95% of life on earth. This extinction is known as the "mother of all extinctions" due to its destructive character, which devastated life on land and in the ocean. It is believed that this extinction was caused by volcanic activities triggered by the impact of asteroids. Almost all living species on earth were affected, such as insects, trilobites, sharks, boneless fish, reptiles, among others.
Extinction of the Triassic: It is not known exactly what caused this extinction, but it is estimated that it had the power to decimate 70-80% of terrestrial life, mainly arcosaurs and amphibians. The most accepted theory today is that the extinction was caused by recurrent volcanic activities that influenced huge volumes of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, generating intense heating.
Cretaceous extinction: It was caused by the impact of an asteroid with the earth. The impact had the power to exterminate 75% of terrestrial life. This is the most well-known extinction, since it was responsible for decimating dinosaurs, however, some animals survived this impact, such as most marine species, frogs, birds, reptile and mammals.

somebody help me please A cross is performed between a bird that is homo for red feathers and a bird that is homo for blue feathers. Purple offspring result due to incomplete dominance. Then, two of the purple offspring are crossed. What proportion of the offspring from the second cross will be purple? 1 in 4 2 in 4 3 in 4 4 in 4
Answer:
2 in 4
Explanation:
Let PP are the gametes of red feather bird and pp are the gamete of blue feather bird. In the first cross they both will give purple feather bird because of incomplete dominance.
Consider Pp as the allele of purple offspring for the second cross. When two of the purple offspring are crossed, it will give the proportion of 2 in 4
F2: Pp X Pp
Offspring: PP, Pp,Pp, pp
So, only two offspring, Pp is with purple feathers while PP has red and pp has blue feathers.
Hence, the correct option is 2 in 4.
The proportion of the offspring from the second cross that would be purple will be 2 in 4.
Let us assume that the red feather color is controlled by allele A and that of blue feather color is controlled by allele B.
Homzygous red feather birds will have the genotype AA
Homzygous blue feather birds will have the genotype BB
Crossing the 2 birds:
AA x BB
AB AB AB AB
Thus, the purple offspring are AB.
Crossing 2 of the purple offspring:
AB x AB
AA AB AB BB
1 AA - red
2 AB - purple
1 BB - blue
Thus, 2/4 or 1/2 or 50% of the offspring from the second cross will be purple.

If a cusp is lost during preparation, which matrix band would provide the best support while restoring
Answer:
I would use a specialized or preformed matrix for the posterior sector.
Explanation:
Losing a cusp is a much more critical situation, that is, there will be less tooth remnant and less resistance to functional and parafunctional forces.
The matrices that are usually used in the posterior sector are matrices that must be burnished and already come with a format to better restore the functional unit of the occlusal surface.
It is important to clarify that cusps are only in the posterior sector and not in the anterior sector.
The cusps, even if they have the most correct selection of the matrix, will fail in their restoration if they are not performed according to the patient's occlusion, under a good dental integration system such as adhesion through resins, and respecting the normal antomy of the piece to be restored.

On April 26, 1986, Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Ukraine exploded, releasing radioactive isotopes into the air. The majority of the isotopes that were released and spreading thousands of miles were of the element iodine. As a class, discuss what endocrine glands would be most affected and how it would become apparent in the nearby population.
Answer:
In the given case, the thyroid gland will be affected the most due to the exposure of the element iodine. For the synthesis of thyroid gland hormone, T3 and T4 iodine is required. As the exposure of the radioactive iodine element is taking place, therefore, it will result in the deterioration of the thyroid gland. Radioactive iodine is generally used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism.
However, in normal individuals, the exposure of the radioactive iodine element results in a decrease in the level of thyroid hormones below the normal level due to the destruction of the thyroid cells. The symptoms seen can be neck tenderness, swollen salivary gland, and loss in body weight.
The thyroid gland will be mostly affected in this case. The element Iodine is
